Ambuscade Findings
Im so ready for this Corse,
ItemSet 345958 If his defense is anything like Belphegor's hes gonna get raped. Judgment and Blackhalo work very well with Fencer. did vol1 D with pld geo whm smn smn blu, the dmg when all the imps died made standing in melee seem tough. managed to down it but took ~12min.
Volume II seems to be nuke friendly. Went as rdm w. random trusts, good one to farm points.
Did #1 D in 5 min: Burt PLD friend, me on SCH WHM BRD WAR GEO. Vex and Attunement was huge.
Also, didn't have this setup but rngs would destroy the intense. RNG RNG PLD GEO RDM (Or SCH or WHM), BRD or COR would win on vd easy.
Damage taken mechanics on the Soulflayer seems really weird. Originally, I never had issues dealing damage on RUN while the BLU and THF seemed to only be doing damage through criticals, though the THF had issues with sometimes not dealing any damage. We died at one point to Droning Whirlwind (AoE full dispel; Vex/Attunement won't block this spell's Dispel property) followed by a bunch of other ***, RR'd and tried again. This time, myself and the BLU's damage was the same as before in that I was always dealing damage while the BLU could only damage through crits, but the THF was doing 0s the entire fight, even on critical hits. All Imps were killed first.
As a side note, Immortal Shield puts up a "TP Spikes" where he'll drain your TP when you attack him. Tribulation's Bio effect is also very potent; seems close to 1000 hp/tick.

That was one of my thoughts, that only 2 people can damage the Flayer at a time. Top of hate list dealing damage freely, second of hate list dealing damage only through criticals.

Quote: Wouldn't a phalanx effect be more likely? Seems more like a damage type thing. VD Normal super spammable like usual, just toss Blunt / H2H DD's at it and it melts. I went WAR/SAM with Loxotic +1 and average around 25K Judgments.
Most importantly to monthly Ambuscade where are the quickest homepoints to get the KI!

Daggers would be the lowest damage so most susceptible to phalanx, as well as THF having a bit lower on attack to not get a better multiplier on its low damage and then the great sword has significantly more damage so the phalanx isn't as felt. I sticky'd the thread for you guys. Also moving lots of threads around having a bit of a clean :D (Take a look at Escha now)

One for chap 1 discussion, another for chap 2. Keeps everything more organized imo. Instead of having all of it at one spot, sifting through trying to see which volume each post is about. Trying to see where the posts for the each month start, so you know where to start checking. Tho i doubt this will happen. Totally a

I was just wondering that, are you saying that ring works in ambuscade and not just the old legion? SMN is a very good option for v2 VD. Flaming Crush is consistently hitting for 45-50k+.

I was doing 10 min intense D with a thrown together party of rng smn pup run cor whm. Run was epo rest of us were about average players. The smn was doing great damage with ramuh.
Really just need a decent tank to hold the imps then the rest is sorting out what kills the imps fastest. Didn't really feel like doing extensive testing on the first day. Corse seems to build some kind of DT. Also seems to counter magic damage with a single target 30-60s terror that spawns a ghost add and resets hate. Honestly more of a pain in the *** than the Soulflayer.

For V1 (D,VD) it seems there might be a small window that you need to kill NM after adds are dead, if you fail and NM was at 20% shield gets up with TP spikes and silence Aura full-time and nothing works to break it.

Honestly more of a pain in the *** than the Soulflayer. Not sure if you were soloing it or not but we're doing VD and destroying him. WAR/SAM Fencer Judgement (me) MNK / PUP / Club BLU / whatever GEO Vex / Attunment GEO Frailty / Fury WHM <Insert your best friend here> Warcry still has 20s when we zone out. Doing ~25K Judgements on him. Leviathan.Katriina said: » shield gets up with TP spikes and silence Aura full-time and nothing works to break it. |
